Line 11:
However, it should be noted that the woman usually ''does'' genuinely care about the guy, she just shows it in a very strange way. She's often a grown-up [[Tsundere]] or a [[Defrosting Ice Queen]], and may act the way she does because she has trouble showing affection.
Note that this relationship doesn't have to be romantic or sexual in nature, and may simply be a mentor/student relationship meant to help the young man develop. There are often elements of [[
Compare [[Lady and Knight]].
Line 20:
** [[CLAMP]] also have a male example in ''[[Legal Drug]]'' with Kakei and his store workers Rikuo and Kazahaya, whom he loves to make squirm and whom he sends on shady missions to retrieve supernatural objects that he intentionally withholds important information on (in one case: that Kazahaya is going to ''drown''). The mirroring of dynamic in ''[[×××HOLiC]]'' is ''very'' apparent.
* Ryoko and Izumida in ''[[The Case Files of Yakushiji Ryoko]]''.
* Ekaterina and Kukrachyov, the pilots of Valspinner from ''[[
* Louise from ''[[The Familiar of Zero]]'' takes the "Mistress" bit just a ''bit'' farther than most, treating Saito more like a slave (to the point of [[Whip It Good|having a whip]]) but over time she becomes [[Tsundere|less Tsun and more Dere]] towards him.
* Rin does this to Maeno a few times in ''[[Mnemosyne]]'', comparing finding him to finding a lost puppy, when she first meets him. She also intentionally plays up the [[Les Yay]] with her assistant Mimi in order to make him squirm. As time goes by she respects him more and more, to the point that {{spoiler|he turns into an angel to save her}}.
Line 27:
* To an extent, Haruhi and Kyon in ''[[Suzumiya Haruhi]]'' qualify, as Haruhi is the brigade leader and Kyon basically has the lowest rank. They even employ the [[Necktie Leash]] trope on occasion but they are generally more peaceful than others as Haruhi doesn't do harm to him for emotional reasons. In the later novels, Kyon seems to acknowledge her as the leader.
** This is definitely how the rest of the school views them. "Right, Kyon, you're normal. Sure. You're Suzumiya's minion and you're trying to pull that?"
** Haruhi seems to think of them this way. In the movie that the club made for the culture festival, after a long list of outrageous titles for Haruhi the credits say "Menial Labor: Kyon".
* Benika and Shinkurou of ''[[Kure-nai]]''. Mostly a mentor/protégé relationship, as Shinkurou earnestly admires Benika and constantly seeks her approval.
* Katina and Russel's relationship in the ''[[Super Robot Wars]] Original Generation'' games occasionally carries undertones of this.
Line 58:
* Semi-parodied in ''[[The Emperor's New Groove|The Emperors New Groove]]'' with [[Evil Vizier|Yzma]] and [[Minion with an F In Evil|Kronk]].

* While he's not really her assistant, [[Defrosting Ice Queen]] / [[Magnificent Bastard]] Adelle DeWitt and [[Geek]]y [[Mad Scientist]] Topher Brink have this kind of relationship on ''[[Dollhouse]].'' Their relationship winds up seeming somewhat like a mother and son, though at first many fans thought it would turn romantic.
** Also, if you reverse the gender roles, Topher and Ivy interact about this way.
* Delenn and Lennier in ''[[Babylon 5]]'', as mentioned in this page's quote.

* Inscriptions on Spanish [[Chastity Dagger|Salvavirgo]] knives often invoke [[Companion Cube|this sentiment]].
